A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

When you're a kid, you don't realize you're also watching your mom and dad grow up. (lemmy.world)

I realize that's a joke, but we waited until our 30s to have a kid specifically so we could have life experience and more financial stability before taking on that responsibility. I think that's the best way to do it. Being 46 with a 13-year-old is a lot easier than it would have been for me 13 years ago.

The other side of that is worth considering too. Being 46 with a 23 year old would be great.
